This has been a god-send to our family. We have 10 people staying in our home at present. This washer has been excellent, not only for the larger size, but also for the many features.

This unit was purchased at Sears and I believe they sold me a returned/used washing machine although I paid for a new unit. That said, I have used the unit less than 5 times and had to call for a service technician. Parts have been ordered and far exceed the price of washing machine. Was told by Whirlpool I would receive a replacement but on a second call to them found out this is not how they plan on resolving the issues with the unit. Waiting on parts to arrive and the unit has been sitting while my laundry piles up.

Solid functionality. Very disappointed to have had to renovate the entire laundry room to accomadate the new height of the unit. What happened to the standard 36†high appliance?!?

I bought this at the Labor Day sale. It had to be specially ordered. It makes clunking sounds when it first starts up in the sensing cycle. It sounds very tinny. I had a duet set for 10 years prior. They seemed much more solid.

Purchased two months ago to replace a 12-year old Whirlpool Duet. Great capacity. Controls are easy to navigate. The teenagers find this unit easy to use. Washing cycle is Alittle longer than my Duet, but Clothes are always clean.
